Help¶

This configuration sets the amount of time the GPS must be blocked by LTE before requesting GPS priority. For GPS priority to be requested after this timeout, the GPS must also be configured with the priority flag enabled when starting it. When GPS priority is enabled, the modem grants the GPS prioritized access to the radio at the cost of LTE activity. If the value of this option is kept low, GPS priority is requested at an earlier point of time after the GPS is actively blocked by LTE activity. This means that data traffic scheduled during a GPS search is more likely to be blocked by the GPS. Increasing the value of this option will favor data traffic since the GPS will be blocked for a longer duration before GPS priority is requested. Note that GPS priority might not be granted by the modem, even though it is requested by the driver.
